I'm working a project that requires some custom programming. This is outside of my usual domain, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the amount of objects and libraries available to me. I find most of my time is spent looking up what to include and how to do simple things that are easy once I find what I'm looking for. What's the best way to go about learning the libraries? Should I just sit down with a big reference book? [more inside]

When I do Add -> Existing Web Site in Visual Studio 2008, if the existing site was created in an earlier version of .net (say 2.0 and I'm running 3.5) Visual Studio automatically starts an update wizard to convert the site to 3.5. How do I turn off this behavior so that it simply imports the web site without updating it? I know this is possible because the first time I did this it happened flawlessly, but at the time I didn't un-check the "automatically update sites next time" check box. Gah.

Help figure out what my options are for solving this programming dilemma. I've inherited an ASP.net project (C#) that is poorly written and even more poorly documented. Apparently the previous owners made a change that broke a page and I am stumped as to how to fix it. It has to do with events not firing for dynamically loaded user controls. If you're still interested, read on. If not, I don't blame you. [more inside]
